I thought it was a light hearted comedy, made me laugh.
It was just full of fun and entertainment.
The actors roles also poked a little fun at the nationality of all involved in this escapade as well as trying their hand at a Scottish or English accent was amusing.
It did show just how beautiful Scotland can be even when a helicopter lands on a croft scaring the poor farmers sheep! Taking us on a tour trying to catch up with the crooks who were always bungling everything they tried to was also funny.
Its a film that if you need to laugh or feel good, its one that will work for most people.
